Powered speakers show audiophiles are confused


17 of 23 speakers in my studio and home theater systems are internally powered. My studio system is all Genelec and sounds very accurate. I know the best new concert and studio speakers are internally powered there are great technical reasons to design a speaker and an amp synergistically, this concept is much more important to sound quality than the vibration systems we often buy. How can an audiophile justify a vibration system of any sort with this in mind.

@rick2000 , many people could list their speakers, cables, dac. and amps for sale, take the cash, buy a set of Dynaudio Focus speakers, get an upgrade, and have money left over. I think they won't because it is too hard to let go of the OCD that often comes with this hobby. Fortunately their is a new generation getting into this hobby that will benefit greatly from a plug and play, value priced ACTIVE system like this.

@rick2000 Dynaudio is really on to something, I listened to a set of them and instantly it sounded warm and happy, to me speaker evaluation takes about 5 seconds or in a system between components and speakers about 1 second, just after the first note. Dynaudio speakers do that for me.
